As the treasurer for the Jewish club on campus, I once accidentally put in a request for 10,000 dollars for our Hanukkah party.
What was even more insane about this is that said request was automatically approved through the school's system, hypothetically granting me the power to get a used car in the name of the Maccabees. So, for a good thirty minutes before my frantic email to every financial institution in my school was answered, I was plagued with two questions.
- What the hell was the club going to do if all the funding we would be allotted for the next two years had to be spent in one evening?
- If tasked with this enormous amount of money, what kind of rager would I now have to undertake in order to properly disperse the money?
Before Carl from accounting kindly answered my email at 9 PM on a Wednesday , I'd been researching the going rates for rent-a-penguins. Surprisingly much more affordable than you'd think.
